Seven young children, including an infant and three toddlers, overdosed on sleeping pills that were handed out by a 7-year-old at a Virginia home on Wednesday night.

Three other young children under the age of eight, had also consumed the pills, but were awake.
All seven kids were all taken to a hospital, and the two youngest victims were transferred to another medical facility in serious condition.
Investigators told the outlet that the drugs were distributed by a 7-year-old who was left alone with the children when their adult supervisor left the house to go to a corner store.
The investigation is still ongoing according to the police report.
parents went to the corner store, guess the parents couldn’t handle a fast trip to the corner store???? B/S parents were out to get smack and left the kids alone,,, LOCK up the parents for life, enough is enough.
